Sexual Health & Crisis Pregnancy Programme and Irish Research Council collaborative research award

The Programme, in conjunction with the Irish Research Council, is very pleased to have awarded Dr. Saoirse Nic Gabhainn, Health Promotion Unit, National University of Ireland, Galway, with a Government of Ireland Collaborative Research Projects in the Humanities and Social Sciences award, to carry out Adolescent Sexual Health Behaviour in Ireland: Data, Dissemination and Development.

This project sets out to systematically analyse sexual health behaviour data collected in the 2010 Irish Health Behaviours in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, which represents the first nationally representative and internationally comparable adolescent data in Ireland. The research will comprise a series of data analyses, will make analytical comparisons with other national studies of sexual health and will replicate international findings using Irish data.
